Hi! I'm skaa. I intend to use my Coppermind user page as a repository of my theories that are far too unsubstantiated or controversial to post on the forums. This page's history tab should allow me to prove that I came up with a theory before a certain date.
==The Ten Voids==
This is based on my theory about the [http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/6113-theory-the-attributes-and-the-surges/ Attributes and the Surges]. I posit that the imbalance of the Attribute pairs causes the creation of a Void.
Because of how nature abhors a vacuum (or in this case, how Roshar abhors Voids), there will be a natural pressure to remove the imbalance and return to a state of equilibrium
===Boundary without Openness -> ''Isolation''===
Isolation Voidbringers can form a large, isolated region in the atmosphere. Given enough time and enough Voidbinding, the difference between the isolated region and its surroundings in terms of atmospheric pressure and electric potential can create an "illuminating storm" of rain and lightning, a thunderstorm or highstorm.

===Law without Truth -> ''Coercion''===
Coercion Voidbringers are similar to Soulcasters in that they can transform objects, except the transformation is never permanent because the target will gravitate back to what it believes is its true form. This allows a Coercion Voidbringer to, for example, transform himself into smoke to avoid an attack, and then revert back to his original form moments later, completely unharmed.

===Motion without Direction -> ''Chance?''===
By removing a specific part of the target's Spiritweb, an Abscission Voidbringer allows Investiture to seep into and grow from the void that was left, with various effects depending on what part was removed.
{{quote|text=''"She gives curses in exchange for granting small desires. Always one curse and one desire."''}}
I believe the Nightwatcher, whether she is Cultivation or some other creature or spren, is using the Void of Abscission to perform the Old Magic.
When something is eaten, its boundaries (both physical and cognitive) are destroyed. Its whole self is laid bare to and absorbed by the one eating it.

===Truth without Law -> ''Chaos?''===
